A message from Roxane Tiessen, Executive Director of Saffron Centre:

 

"Saffron Centre is a non-profit organization working to create communities free from sexual violence through education, counselling, and advocacy. Since 2018, Survivorfest's ultramarathon has raised awareness about the harms of sexual violence and has supported our prevention based education program through funds raised.

 

Our education program reaches over 20,000 children, youth, and adults annually. Survivorfest is an important part of raising awareness about our programs and services and the incredible societal harm caused by sexual trauma.

 

We are thrilled that Survivorfest has supported us through this event - our clients feel supported by the community and there is stronger awareness and community unity working together to end sexual violence."

$57,000 Raised!

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, Survivorfest has raised over $57,000 to date. We can't wait to see what this year brings!
